Renewable Energy Certificates Market Poised To Hit $70.56 Billion By 2030 With A 24.8% CAGR
The renewable energy certificates market has experienced substantial expansion in recent years. Projections indicate it will grow from $22.55 billion in 2025 to $29.05 billion in 2026, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.8%. Historically, this market’s growth can be attributed to the initial establishment of renewable portfolio standards, early corporate sustainability commitments, increased wind and solar capacity additions, the introduction of market-based emission reduction tools, and a rise in voluntary green power purchasing.
The renewable energy certificates market is anticipated to undergo significant growth in the coming years, reaching $70.56 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.8%. This expansion during the forecast period is primarily driven by the proliferation of international renewable certificate markets, escalating regulatory pressure for decarbonization, the increase in corporate net zero targets, a heightened demand for transparent REC tracking platforms, and an uptick in cross-border renewable energy procurement. Noteworthy trends predicted for the forecast period include an increasing corporate demand for renewable energy sourcing, broader adoption of market-based instruments for emission reduction, greater participation in voluntary renewable energy programs, the expansion of cross-border renewable certificate trading, and enhancements in verification and tracking mechanisms for RECs.
